This was set to Wishlist importance, however it's also tagged as 'regression-release' which doesn't make sense...

I haven't reviewed the patch in detail, but did take a cursory look over it. It applies to gdm 0.30.0, while natty is on 0.30.5 so it should be checked to make sure it still applies. It looks pretty self-contained so may still apply reasonably cleanly.

[Bug 449198] Re: No GUI option to change login theme
I just found out that all the 'sudo -u gdm gconf-editor etc.' hacks were just wiped out by the latest GDM update (because the %gconf... files in /var/lib/gdm got overwritten). We need to find a way to allow customization of GDM in a way that resists update, via a sensible '/etc/gdm/custom.conf' file and without reverting to horrible hacks like the CTRL-ALT-F1 + sudo + While I can live with lack of wallpaper and time format customization (thought I'd rather not), I must ensure a few other parameters are enforced, like getting rid of the users list. Could we imagine some automated script that would get executed when X/GDM launches (e.g. via '.xsession', IIRC), that would push some parameters in the GDM configuration from a /etc/gdm/custom.conf file via 'gconftool-2' ? -- No GUI option to change login theme https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449198 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
